My rationale for picking up this book was mostly work-related, but Riggs gives you a good case study of how the federal government should (I believe) should step up, when the business and the private sector fails. Apart from that, this also serves as an examination of the rise of Wendell Willkie as a player in American politics, though I'd probably prefer to read a dedicated biography of the man.
